Norah Jones in My Blueberry NightsNovember 14, 2007 - Internationally-acclaimed singer Norah Jones has made her acting debut in Hong-Kong writer and director Wong Kar-wai's first American movie "My Blueberry Nights". The film had the privilege to open the famous Cannes Film Festival in May 2007. It will be shown in US cinemas on 13th February 2008. Jones plays Elisabeth, a young woman mired in depression over a recently ended affair. She then embarks on a soul-searching journey across America to sort out her questions about love, while meeting a series of offbeat characters along the way. The movie features Jude Law, David Strathairn, Rachel Weisz and Natalie Portman. For Jones, this movie was only an interesting diversion from music, that remains her main passion. The famous Indian musician Ravi Shankar's daughter has contributed to the movie's original soundtrack (with a new song called "The Story"), that will be released on 5th February by Blue Note with other tunes from Ry Cooder, Otis Redding and Cassandra Wilson among others. - By Akbar Nour, Smoothjazznow's Contributing Editor

Norah Jones Goes Deeper
 November 20, 2006 - Norah Jones expects to get a little more intimate on her next album. After surviving the sophomore jinx the multi Grammy winner will release her third CD "Not Too Late on January 30/2007. The singer says, "I think it reflects more sides of my personality than my first two records did. It has different sides to it, it has a lot more variety to it," For the first time she has a hand in creating every song on the album, she wrote or co-wrote ever song on the album. Jones says she's more of a songwriter now than she's been in the last 5-6 years. She also says we should be ready for a hint of humor in the lyrics and a few more instruments including horns on "Not Too Late.' In the last few years Jones has kept busy with her country covers band The Little Willies and she's taken up acting, starring in "My Blueberry Nights" with Jude Law, Natalie Portman and Rachel Weisz. Norah Jones debut album, "Come Away With Me" sold 8 million records and won 8 Grammy's.
